Dr Martens are, of course, famous for iconic soft leather boot with Air-Wair sole. Originally the brainchild of Klaus Maertens in the late 40s who wanted more comfortable boots, they didn't reach British shores until 1960. The heels were reshaped, the name slightly anglicized, the distinctive yellow stitching added and the brand that has since become forever connected with punk culture and British fashion was born. Dr Martens Safety Footwear builds on those first principles of durability and comfort but now offers a varying range so you can look good and keep your feet safe at the same time.
